"A formidable feat of imagination underpins this marvellous detective novel set in late 16th/early 17th century Spain...Canticle is a tale for our time, rife with insitutionalised power struggles, truth and misinformation, manipulated in the interests of the elite - same as it always was and is."
Anthony Glavin, The Independent
Canticle was a winner in the Irish Writers' Centre/Greenbean Novel Fair, 2016.
